A mechanism for ice growth on the surface of a spherical water droplet
Yang Li, Prachi Parashar, Iver Brevik +3
The formation and growth of ice particles, particularly on the surfaces of spherical water droplets, bear profound implications for localized weather systems and global climate. He…
Can An Uncertainty Relation Generate A Plasma?
A. Gholamhosseinian, R. W. Corkery, I. Brevik +1
We explore the fundamental idea that there may be a role for the Casimir effect, via an uncertainty relation, in the generation of electron-positron and quark-gluon plasmas. We inv…
Towards an understanding of dipole-dipole interactions in nonlocal media
L. Inácio, A. Kurumbail, S. K. Panja +2
We commence our study with review of dispersion interactions in electrolytes. We then reflect on how background media change atom-atom excited-state systems. To highlight the impac…
Nanorod Pair Complexes Manipulated via Magnetic Casimir Forces
S Pal, L. M. Woods, C. Persson +3
Controlling nanoscale interactions to suppress aggregation from short-range attractive forces is a key problem in nanoengineering. Here, we demonstrate a route to modulate Casmir-L…
The 2D Lorentz-violating fermionic Casimir effect under thermal conditions
K. E. L. de Farias, M. A. Anacleto, Iver Brevik +4
In the present work, we study a fermionic Lorentz invariance violation (LIV) theory with a CPT-even extension and analyze its impact on the Casimir effect under the MIT bag boundar…
Dispersion Interaction Between Thin Conducting Cylinders
Subhojit Pal, Iver Brevik, Mathias Boström
The ground state and excited state resonance dipole-dipole interaction energy between two elongated conducting molecules are explored. We review the current status for ground state…
